Hi Guys
My wife had a really, really bad day with the Freelander on Monday this week.
First, the tailgate window decided to go down by itself and refused to raise again - Just beeped when the button pressed.
Then a kindly yellow bus decided to "remove" the drivers side wing mirror.
Finally, we discovered that the MOT expired in Sept
- My wife booked it in on Saturday, but the garage has said that there's probably no point as it will fail due to a missins mirror - Bugger !
Ref the tailgate window, I've removed the internal moulding and found that the wire cable had snapped and wrapped itself around various things - I've removed this, a large spring and a piece of tubing and managed to manually "pull" the glass up so that the tailgate can be opened and closed.
I believe the motor is still good as before I stripped the door down I could hear it operating.
Does anyone know how difficult it will be to get this repaired - I expect the Landy dealer will wnat a fortune to do it !?
I've ordered a new mirroe from Ebay for £70 inc delivery which is a reasonable price I think - Does anyone have a huide on replacing mirrors on Freelanders (It's a 1999 model on a V-Plate) ?
Many thanks
